The geology of the occator quadrangle of dwarf planet Ceres: Floor-fractured craters and other geomorphic evidence of cryomagmatism

Icarus, 2018
Abstract The Dawn Science Team is conducting a geological mapping campaign at Ceres during the nominal mission, including iterative mapping using data obtained during each orbital phase. We are using geological mapping as a method to identify the geologic processes that have modified the surface of dwarf planet Ceres.

APPLICATION OF NEW WELL LOGS AND GEOLOGY TO FRACTURING AND PRODUCIBILITY IN TIGHT GAS SANDS, COTTON VALLEY GROUP

Proceedings of SPE/DOE Low Permeability Gas Reservoirs Symposium, 1981
ABSTRACT A combination of new tools, the Digital Sonic and the Induced Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy (GST*) with the High Resolution Dipmeter (HDT*), a SARABAND* suite of logs, and a rock core study provided a unique opportunity to re-examine fracturing (fracing) procedures and producibility in the "tight gas sands" of the Cotton Valley Group ...

Geology of Mode I, Hybrid and Mode II Fractures - What Do we Really Know?

78th EAGE Conference and Exhibition 2016, 2016
Mode I and mode II and hybrid fractures are concepts frequently used in structural geology studies. While their definition is clear, there is surprisingly little knowledge on how these features form, at which depth and in which stress conditions. This is unfortunate as different modes of fracturing impact, among others, reservoir permeability and ...

Multistage Fractured Cardium Oil: Studying Geology and All of the Production and Stimulation History Thus Far

Canadian Unconventional Resources and International Petroleum Conference, 2010
Abstract As the industry has unlocked vast new resources in North America with multistage fractured horizontal wells, an immense push has occured in terms of applying these new technologies to new plays. In the last 3 years, there has been an immense development in the Cardium tight oil play in Alberta, Canada, as commodity prices have ...

An Integrated Geology and Reservoir Engineering Approach for Modelling and History Matching of a Vietnamese Fractured Granite Basement Reservoir

Proceedings of EUROPEC/EAGE Conference and Exhibition, 2007
Abstract The main source of oil production in Vietnam is from naturally fractured basement reservoirs (NFBR). The SN reservoir, which is situated offshore Vietnam in Mekong basin, consists of fractured/weathered granite and granodiorite rocks and fully encased by highly over-pressured shales, which act both as seal and source rock.

Integrating Geology, Hydraulic Fracturing Modeling, and Reservoir Simulation in the Evaluation of Complex Fluvial Tight Gas Reservoirs

SPE/EAGE European Unconventional Resources Conference and Exhibition, 2012
Abstract Hydrocarbon resources such as tight sands have become one of the most sought after types of unconventional plays, given the extensive amounts of gas they contain. In order to access these reserves, the industry is focused on improving hydraulic fracturing techniques with the purpose of increasing gas recovery.

The DMX Protocol: A New Generation of Geology Driven 3D Discrete Fault and Fracture Network Modelling

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, 2019
Abstract A new Protocol ("DMX") is presented for 3d DFFN (Discrete Fault and Fracture Network) modelling, a numerical code developed over the last 20 years in order to converge towards a more realistic Discontinuity (fault and fracture) Network representation in space.

At the Sharp End of Fractured Granites: A Critical Geology for Critical Times

The geosciences have been positioned as integral to a ‘whole society’ transition that includes the decarbonisation of energy systems. Geothermal energy - which relies on a knowledge of the dynamism of rocks in the subsurface including the movement of fluids through fractures, physio-chemical interactions, and thermal gradients – has been offered as a ...
